Re: Heres some NZ electrical appliance prices
so long as you have an HDMI (?) port you should be fine, according to our sky engineer, although you can't get the freeview etc as others have said. Our chap said some work, some don't. Depends on the age I guess - ours is only 18 months old. Husband also just changed the plug on the washing machine which is working fine - best decision bringing that along
only wish we had bought our big tv with us! Ah well live and learn.Xbox games seem very expensive here, although I am still working my way through the latest Final Fantasy so not sure yet on second hand/overseas purchases or cheaper places to buy.

Re: Heres some NZ electrical appliance prices
When I first got here and whilst waiting for my container and the rest of the family to arrive, I bought a 32" Sony TV for $500. I thought this very reasonable. I played Dick Smith and Bond and Bond off against each other. Later on I bought a new tumble dryer...$250. Also from Bond and Bond.....Tell them you have cash, you want the best price and you can get it cheaper than the price they come back to you with....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It helps if you're not desperate for something and can just walk away........
sounds like an arab souq.
haggling, playing off, walking away.

Re: Heres some NZ electrical appliance prices
Here is a very helpful website which I used to use a lot in NZ:
www.pricespy.co.nz
Allows you to search for the cheapest from most of NZ's online and in-store retailers. Very good for all electronic equipment.
